gham ka juzdan ho gaya hun main
apni pahchan ho gaya hun main

khushbuen bas gain hain rag rag mein
jaise gul-dan ho gaya hun main

roz mujh mein chitaen jalti hain
ek shamshan ho gaya hun main

koi mujh ko samajh nahin pata
itna aasan ho gaya hun main

thaharti hi nahin koi khwahish
qasr-e-viran ho gaya hun main

meri chhoti si ek hukumat hai
jis ka sultan ho gaya hun main

dho raha hun main khud ko kandhon par
ek shamshan ho gaya hun main

mujh ka patthar samajh ke mat todo
ab to insan ho gaya hun main
